You can modify the behavior by adding or excluding file types or paths you specify and either extend or limit the number of files that are monitored. To restore a version of a file, you can right click on it within the Katchall archive folder and select revisions from the Windows Properties dialog.

You can activate the session for as long as you wish, and deactivate it easily from the system tray. The session can include all or just selected drives, whichever drives are selected - all data that was created during the session will be completely eliminated. This includes any software installed, browser history, cookies etc, as well as any other changes. Beware that this also includes email and other documents that were received during the session (if they were saved to a ShadowMode drive). ShadowSurfer can be a very effective and easy to use way to temporarily use your system in a shadow mode, however you should be fully aware of the consequences, in order to avoid unwanted data loss. A bright desktop wallpaper clearly alerts you of the ShadowMode while it is activated.
